# Configure Saga CLI

## Configure `sagacli for Saga Mainnet`

The `sagacli` executable communicates with our Pegasus server applications securely over `HTTPS`. Before you can start using `sagacli`, you must configure it talk to the Saga Platform Chain as well as the Saga Controller.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you've used sagacli in the past on Cassiopeia, we recommend carefully verifying that all of the config parameters below are set correctly otherwise your CLI might fail.
{% endhint %}

Execute the following commands provided below to configure `sagacli`:

```
sagacli config network-rpc https://spc.sagarpc.io
sagacli config controller https://controller.sagarpc.io
sagacli config platform-chain-id spc-1
sagacli config denom upsaga
sagacli config broadcast-mode sync
sagacli config faucet https://spc-faucet.sagarpc.io
```

Ok, now that we have configured the endpoints, it's time to check if they actually work. To do that, run the following command:

```
sagacli status
```

You should see the following output:

```
Saga Platform Chain     Controller
-------------------     ----------
Online                  Online                   

```

{% hint style="warning" %}
**IMPORTANT**: If either of the two applications indicate a value of `false`, the configuration was not successful. Check your local network connection to ensure that you are connected to the internet, and that your firewall application isn't blocking outgoing traffic over `HTTPS`.
{% endhint %}

## Configure `sagacli for Saga Testnet`

The `sagacli` executable communicates with our Pegasus server applications securely over `HTTPS`. Before you can start using `sagacli`, you must configure it talk to the Saga Platform Chain as well as the Saga Controller.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you've used sagacli in the past on Cassiopeia, we recommend carefully verifying that all of the config parameters below are set correctly otherwise your CLI might fail.
{% endhint %}

Execute the following commands provided below to configure `sagacli`:

```
sagacli config network-rpc https://spc.testnet.sagarpc.io
sagacli config controller https://controller.testnet.sagarpc.io
sagacli config platform-chain-id spc-testnet-2
sagacli config denom upsaga
sagacli config broadcast-mode sync
sagacli config faucet https://spc-faucet.testnet.sagarpc.io
```

Ok, now that we have configured the endpoints, it's time to check if they actually work. To do that, run the following command:

```
sagacli status
```

You should see the following output:

```
Saga Platform Chain     Controller
-------------------     ----------
Online                  Online                   

```

{% hint style="warning" %}
**IMPORTANT**: If either of the two applications indicate a value of `false`, the configuration was not successful. Check your local network connection to ensure that you are connected to the internet, and that your firewall application isn't blocking outgoing traffic over `HTTPS`.
{% endhint %}

## Next Steps

To launch your very first chainlet, there are a few easy steps you will need to go through. Broadly:

* [Create a key,](/sagacli/key-management/adding-keys.md#creating-a-new-key-in-sagacli) or [import your existing key](/sagacli/key-management/adding-keys.md#import-an-existing-key-into-sagacli), in `sagacli` and provide that to your Saga contact person
* Your `sagacli` account will receive airdropped tokens. If you do not have tokens, please request them via the [Getting Access](/sagacli/getting-access.md) page
* [Launch your chainlet ](/sagacli/working-with-chainlet/launch-your-chainlet-on-mainnet.md)and run commands against it

{% hint style="info" %}
You can access the help for any of the commands by running `sagacli [command?] [subcommand?] --help`.
